Karputer ?

The good:
Take a peek here at
http://www.karputer.co.uk/karputer.php?page=product

The bad: It's manufactured in the UK

The ugly:
The price is a whopping 1750 GPB (UK Pounds) or roughly $3,124 USD.

That's pretty funny. Those are the same components (Lilliput LCD, and Casetronic C134 case) I am using. I even have that keyboard (made by Zippy) though I bought the unlighted version by mistake. No big deal though since once the system is working, I shouldn't need to use the keyboard except for maintenance.

See above for a price breakdown. It will be well below $3124.

This is the Casetronic C134. It holds the motherboard and laptop hard disk. The mouse is there only to give you an indication of the size of the computer. The mouse is not used in the final system.

The slot in the front can hold a laptop size dvd/cd drive.

Modified LCD Case. I had to chop the front top, notch the back top, chop the bottom front, and chop and notch the bottom back.
Strips of MDF are glued to the side to fill out the dash opening. Bondo and paint will be applied to give a smooth finish.

How it fits (backside). Only tiny modifications were required to the backside center console itself.
